The impetus to adopt IFRS has two sources: the requirements of international markets and the desire among the world’s businesspeople for common financial standards. Moreover, statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are the foundation of informed and effective management decisions.

BEFL specialists are ready to assist you with a range of IFRS services:

• explaining IFRS statements and applying them to particular transactions, including those involving restructuring a group of companies or M&A activity

To help launch your IFRS project we can provide staff training and seminars, offer consultation and oversee the process of preparing your financial statements.

We can also help you manage the process of transforming existing accounting practices so that they comply with IFRS. This complex project establishes a system through which you will be able to prepare both separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Key tasks include collecting accounting data in accordance with Russian Standards, management accounting, analysis and introducing necessary amendments.

The end result is a balanced system of collecting and adjusting accounting information for separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, to be further revised by auditors and provided to interested users.

Senior management support is essential for the successful introduction and continued use of IFRS. Participation and support are essential at all levels, not just in the finance department.

We can also represent your business in the process of achieving international audit of your financial statements in accordance with IFRS by selecting an auditor and providing them with all necessary explanations of your financial statements, along with evidence of their accuracy and reliability.
